Regina Rocke Loves Herself at Scope

I suppose in choosing the needlessly provocative title above I’ve created a rather misleading headline, though clearly our hands were tied upon reading the title of her piece I Do Love Myself. Contrary to the suggestion of this post, Rocke’s performance promises little in the way of lewd public acts, but does claim “to expose the status quo” through dance and text. Who knows what this means really, since the current state of affairs tends to be self evident, but I having enjoyed Ms. Rocke’s combination of pop culture, theory, and performance in the past, I am just going assume she knows what she’s doing and catch her sometime between 3 and 9 today at Scope. Fingers crossed for that fair by the way. MonkeyTown is participating this year, which seems like a good sign, but fewer participating galleries, and Lilah Freedland and Sara Mednick’s The imagiNAPtion project are cause for worry. I’ll let you all nap and draw your own opinions about that piece.
